Commandant Samuel L. Breese Letter 20 April 1855

Commandants Office
Navy Yard Gosport
April 20th 1855
Sir,
The Bureaus letter of the 18th inst has been received. The balance to the credit of “Magazine at Fort Norfolk” as shown by our books here, was, on the 1st inst $6600.05. A sum amply sufficient to build the Keepers House, and to do whatever other work is necessary to be done previous to the removal of the powder, which I hope soon to affect.

I am very Respectfully,
Yr obt srt,
Sam. L. Breese
Captain

Comm Chr Morris
Chief of the Bureau of
Ordnance & Hydrography
